[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got rid of some office space during pandemic, remote employees have changed office location, although most remote employees are remote locally. Basically, some employees change teleworking status (before Covid) to remote status, with SF 50 duty station changed too.

There is no funding to get more office space (flat funding, majority of funding goes to employees' salary; while salary/other costs increase annually, there is not even enough money to fill every vacancy).[/quote]

Why people are so concerned about RTO?  [/quote]

45-90 minute commute, longer if rain, snow or accident.

No flexibility but still expected to take very early and late night calls and be on call one week a month.

Need to buy a new car.

$12 in tolls, plus gas, wear and tear on car, etc. daily

Spouse with serious health issues.

Can do the same job most days from home and have been long before covid.  RTO will not have a desk, all calls and meetings will still be online, co-workers and customers all over the country and world.  Supervisor is cross country.

Wnat more?[/quote]

And why exactly do you think you should be able to make issues caused by your personal choices your employer's problem? [b] Pre Covid working from the office was always the norm.[/b] Now suddenly, less than 5 years later you can't possibly imagine having to do your job from the office? Grow up or quit. [/quote]

This is the problem. You think the bolded is true when it is NOT. I started my job in 2016 and had telework ability then. I could telework any day any time for any reason. 100% wasnt offered until I requested it and then it was approved because I DID MY JOB REGARDLESS OF MY LOCATION. I had a track record of being responsive and productive so it wasnt an issue and it wasnt because of a global pandemic. 
Everything did not occur because of COVID. Stop using it as justification because its post-COVID. [/quote]

My fed dh has been teleworking a few days a week since 2007. It was a coat savings measure, so no new office space needed.

Many of these pps have no idea what they are talking about. [/quote]
